Summertime Is Here

When the sun’s a golden rose, And the magpie carols sing.You can say and I can say, Summertime is here.In Australia summer’s here,Bringing joy and Christmas cheer.In Australia, summer’s here.

When the food is barbecued, And the beaches overflow,Holidays and laid-back ways.Summertime is here.In Australia summer’s here,Bringing friends and family so dear.In Australia, summer’s here.

When the bushfires scar our hearts,And the flooding waters rise,Scorching days and sleepless nights.Summertime is here.In Australia summer’s here,Bringing so much doubt and fear.Yes in Australia, summer’s here.

When the sky is azure blue,And the wattle’s flowering still.You can say and I can say,Summertime is here.In Australia summer’s here,Heralding another new year.In Australia, summer’s here,Yes, in Australia, summer’s here.
